Chime Coming To XBLA Wednesday

This Wednesday will see the release of Chime for the Xbox Live Arcade. The download will cost 400 MSP and will of course have a free trial available for download.

"An exclusive Zoë Mode production for OneBigGame, the video game industry-wide charity initiative, Chime pits gamers against the melody in this all-new puzzle experience. Place blocks against the clock and remix famous artists’ music tracks in this challenging and addictive puzzle game. More than 60 percent of the purchase price of Chime will be donated to children's charities around the world, helping those who need it the most."

* Intriguing block puzzler: Rotate and place shapes to form quads of 3×3 or more to fill your grid before the time runs out.
* Music tracks from world-renowned musicians: Chime features music by Moby, Paul Hartnoll (Orbital), and more.
* Remix music tracks: Fill the grid to alter the track loop, place pieces to play notes, and create quads to trigger a range of song samples.
* Unlimited replay value: Keep reaching 100% and resetting the grid to continue playing and beat your high score.
* Five unique levels: Each level is made up of its own music, grid, and shape sets.
* Time mode: Choose between three different levels of difficulty, based on time limit.
* Free-play mode: Play for the sake of making music with no time pressure.
* Charitable donation: All Zoë Mode's services are provided at no cost to OneBigGame, and all Zoë Mode's royalties (a minimum of 60 percent of the purchase price) are donated to the OneBigGame charity initiative. OneBigGame always aims to donate a minimum of 80% of all donations to its charity partners Save the Children and Starlight Children's foundation.
